Sorry to be adding this, but it might help.
This is the alternate screen from the terminal after these boot failures:
Loading, please wait...

Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
From this it is not clear to me what xinetd changed, but in reading a
summary of how xinetd works, it discussed the fact that xinetd has
better security, etc. As one of these lines (above) indicate "Error:
Connect: Connection refused" then does that not suggest that these issue
may be permission related?
